My boyfriend came to this past PDF. He died last week. I am very sad.

I have searched as best I could, but I was hoping to enlist some help in finding any photos of him from the event. Could all of you who took photos of people spinning fire in the area near PEX on Friday night please check and see if you have or might have any of him? He spun a lot there that night, using all sorts of things - poi, staff, double staff, a dart, poi with three wicks... I don't know what else. I do know that a smallish girl took some good photos of him there... He was wearing, probably, I think, camo cargo pants with a tank top and then without, and a black leather do-rag type thing. If I could find more photos of him... well, it would mean a lot to me. I love him so much, and he is gone, and I am having a hard time with it, and pictures of him doing his favoritest thing ever would be cheery.

And, damn, I have never before wished so hard that the naked slip 'n slide had some illegal picture taker there taking pictures of people's faces - that was so wonderful for him. The look on his face when he was running - so very serious, you know? Like a kid. It was great. I smile thinking about it, which is pretty impressive right now.

Here is his obituary, which has a photo of his face. He was probably 5' 9, and strong and muscley. He had a tribal sort of tattoo on his right shoulder, a few small facial piercings, a dark brown curly jew-fro mohawk, an amazing smile and eyes that just lit up.

Also, Saturday he spent quite awhile sunburning while flying a sea horse kite in front of the stage. If anybody had any great moments or whatever with him and wants to share them with me, that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your help. If healing happens as it should, I will see you all at pdf in the fall.

Love,

Kelly
